hello x!!!
It is so great that you wrote to me back

It means that we have the chance to get to know each other better and find out if we have something in common. I know that it is a very hard work to tell someone the story of your life, but we are not obliged to do that in one letter

Let us learn about each other gradually (though not too slow and not too quick). I find it pretty important to establish a good dialogue with you. I do not expect endless letters though it is pretty important to say enough so that we both know the level of interest in each other. Sorry if i sound serious or even demanding. I just do not want us to waste our time.
I am pleased that you introduced yourself to me. The more details I know about you, the better. I am a very curious person by nature and I hope that my questions will not bother you (I promise not to ask something too personal). Sure, I want to know about the people who surround you, about the daily life, about experience, about the plans for the future

Do you mind if I ask you about your friends? Do you have a lot? Do you believe in friendship between opposite sexes? (in general). I am very cautious when it concerns such kind of friendship. What about you? If we are talking about fidelity, I am a very devoted person. I can be social but at the same time I am family oriented. What about you? Do you put the family on the first place?
Thank you very much for sharing with me your photos. It is really sweet and lovely that you can show me your life. Frankly speaking I know that the men are not really fond of being photographed though there are always the exceptions from the rules. AS I do not have the chance to see you in front of me, I would be really happy and excited to see at least some photos along with your letters. They will help me to understand you better, sense you better
I am so grateful for telling me about your interests. As long as the person is involved into something that interests him, he is alive. It does not matter what kind of hobby you choose as, to my mind, a hobby is something that keeps us busy and at the same time something that allows our mind to rest and relax. It is a kind of distraction from daily routine. I like to watch documentaries, I like to watch comedy shows. I also like to sew and to knit. I do not do that often, but still. It can sounds old-fashioned, but these are the skills which were "transferred" by my mother

I am also fond of cooking though while living alone I seldom have proper inspiration for creating something special. I like cooking for the people who are dear to me.
I am really sorry to hear about your accident. I understand that now you cannot travel with the train and plane. It does not scare me at all. The life is going on and you will be happy
You already know where I live. My native town does not deserve any attention as it is small and pretty abandoned by government. Now I live in Lysychansk (East of Ukraine) where I work as a seller of body cosmetics. I am 160 cm tall and weight about 55 kg. I am the only child in the family. My parents divorced when I was 16, just after my graduation. I entered Lugansk Pedagogical University and left my native town. I supposed to become a teacher of Russian and Ukrainian language and literature. I finished the university but did not find myself happy in the profession of a teacher. The salary of mine was too small and the demands and amount of work I had to do were too high. I simply could not survive in such kind of conditions and after 3 years of struggles I left the school and started to work at the fitness center (as administrator). Then the war started and I urgently needed to leave Lugansk which was bombarded and then occupied by the separatist. I relocated to Lisichansk as my ex partner had family there and it was easier for us to move to them. Sure, nobody thought that the war will last for so many years. Everybody hoped that after several horrible fights the people will realize that killing a brother is cruel and senseless (I am talking about Ukrainians and Russians). In reality the war is going on for the 6th year in the East of Ukraine and there is no end to it... Now, after breaking up the relationship with my ex, I found an apartment to rent and it is the place where I am living now. It is a small apartment which is not very far from my working place. Nothing fancy

I keep on working at the fitness center where a beauty parlour is situated. My task is to sell some body products and also to help my boss with clients (I work as a secretary). This job also does not bring much funds but at least it allows me to pay my bills. Wow, in one paragraph I shared the story of my life

I hope you were not bored. I am trying to be brief as I know how much the men dislike the women who talk non-stop. Do you also dislike the women who can talk much? haha
I am emotional, tender and very caring though if someone is threatening my family or friends, I am ready to show my teeth (though it is probably natural). What about you? Are you also protective? How do you behave at home? Are you active or you prefer being calm and quiet?
As you already understood I had relationship with Ukrainian man but it did not work for us. There were several reasons for me to stop this relationship. He was a kind man but he was concentrated on himself only. He never was interested in me, in my life. Instead of compliments I was always teased (I suppose it was the way he expressed his feelings to me). I really suffered from indifference. He also did not want to do anything at home. So, I played a role of a man and a woman in this relationship. I tried to talk about all that, but somehow he was not ready to listen to me and understand what makes me so upset. At a certain moment I realized that I do not want to have such unhappy future. I want to feel love and tenderness, I want to know that I am needed. I want to feel a strong shoulder of my partner I can always lean on. So, there was no drama in my private life but there is no happiness for me in this relationship as well. After long 7 years we separated. That is my story. Sure, both partners are usually guilty in break-up; I just think that he was not my man, not my destiny. Fortunately, we did not have kids together and that is why the separation was pretty easy (difficult emotionally for me but easy in "technical" sense, haha).
I suppose it is not easy to say about my personality as I cannot judge myself adequately though I will try. I like to have fun, I like to be happy, I like to enjoy the life. I am active, I am not afraid of work, I like to create something, I like to cook. In relationship I am tender and loving. I like to show my partner that he is loved. If the man is cold and unemotional, I will suffer by his side (I already have experience). I am not a drama queen and never arrange quarrels. I am not the person who spends much money on shopping. I got used to live modestly and I got used to save every penny (the war taught all the people here to live like that). I a clean and tidy person. What about you? Do you keep your place clean? Do you want your partner to be a house-wife or you would prefer her working? Do you want your woman to be equal with you in everything or you want your duties to separate? Cleaning and cooking is for women and repairing and fixing something is for men (for example). I want to do everything together though I also think that the woman should always stay a woman and the man should always stay a man.
It is time to stop, I suppose. I have written too much. I am sorry for that. I hope I did not scare you off with my life story. If not, then I have found a brave man

Hope you will come back to me soon and maybe you will even answer my questions

I hope I was not too curious
Have a wonderful day
Marina
